I have VAX 2098(currently latest) installed on my Win7x64 PC. This Win7 has both VS2008 SP1 and VS2015 Update 2 installed (VAX is re-installed after them). But VAssistX.NavigateBack(Alt+Left) exhibits different behavior.

On VS2008, the behavior is correct. For example, line 100 has a call to WinAPI CreateEvent; place caret on CreateEvent, press Alt+G jumps to CreateEvent's declaration, then Alt+Left will jump back to the CreateEvent word on line 100.

On VS2015, Alt+Left jumps back to line 100, but the caret is always placed at head of the line, which is not the expected behavior. Furthermore, every Alt+Left and Alt+Right jumps to head of a line, not to the word position where it was; I don't know what's going wrong.

Thank you for the clear description. I am seeing the same thing, but had never noticed the change in behaviour. Taking you back to the column, if possible, would make more sense, so I have put in a bug report about this:

case=97613

Testing, this changed in VS2010, and I know that VS2010 and above are fairly different to VS2005 and VS2008, so this might be a factor.

I found a VAX version as old as 10.6.1862 (2011), and it exhibits the same "jump back only to head of line" behavior on VS2010.

It's astonishing that for 5+ years, no one has realized such a change in behavior and got tripped by its inconvenience?

Hope it get fixed soon.

Yeah, it is odd that no one noticed that it broke when we starting supporting vs2010. It will be fixed in the July release.
